Secure your child’s dental health and overall wellbeing by taking advantage of the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. CBDS is the Australian’s Government latest initiative, which provides financial support for basic dental services to children of eligible families.

CBDS provides your child with up to $1,000 worth of basic dental treatments over a period of two years. These dental services include:

Check-ups

Scaling and cleaning

Fillings

Sealants

Extractions

X-rays

On the other hand, high-end services such as orthodontic treatments and cosmetic dental procedures will not be covered by the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

According to government documents, a child is eligible for CBDS benefits if they are between 2 to 17 years old at least 1 day of the calendar year, Medicare cardholders, and a part of a family receiving government assistance. Government payments that make the child eligible include:
